Tearing and Your Baby Tears normally drain from the eyes through tiny tube-like channels called canaliculi, which are located under the skin at the inner corner of the upper and lower eyelids. These channels carry the tears into the tear sac, near the side of the nose, and then into the tear duct, which empties into the nose.(That's one reason your nose runs when you cry.).
